Popular Abuja Pastor, Amos Isah, Arrested Over Allegations of Raping 14‑Year‑Old Girl

Pastor Amos Isah, founder and lead minister of Prophetic Victory Voice of Fire Ministry in Gwagwalada, Abuja, has been detained by the Federal Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) over serious allegations of raping a 14-year-old girl. Known for his charismatic sermons and claims of divine power, his arrest last week sent shockwaves through the local community.

Security sources confirm the alleged assault took place within his church premises, located behind Noble Noel Academy near Gwagwalada Market. Investigators believe Isah used his pastoral role to exploit the minor. Authorities have described the nature of the allegations as deeply disturbing given the victim’s age.

The pastor’s last sermon was delivered on June 18, 2025. He was notably absent from the pulpit the following day, June 19, raising suspicions that he may have anticipated the impending investigation. His social media pages, once filled with messages emphasizing holiness and spiritual authority, now lie silent.

FCID sources allege that some police personnel may be attempting to suppress full details due to Isah’s prominence. Despite such interference, investigators are said to be proceeding with caution given the case’s sensitivity and potential repercussions in the religious community.

Civil society groups and child rights advocates are calling for transparency and justice. Many warn that unresolved cases like this erode public trust in faith institutions and signal the need for stricter accountability for religious leaders.

Isah remains in custody and is expected to undergo formal charges later this week. His potential court appearance will mark a critical turning point in a high-profile case that has sparked widespread public outcry.

As the FCID continues its probe and the Abuja community reels from the revelations, the case is fast becoming a test of Nigeria’s ability to protect vulnerable children—even when accused perpetrators stand among respected leaders.
